I moved back from SF about a year and a half ago :)

Been in Chicago the whole time with my T-3, though.  Type-1s only until
I adopted my square (a midwest-its-whole-life car, though surprisingly
sound for its history) last February.

I do - well, just barely outside the loop.  I'll p-mail you more info.

Much to the disdain (I'm sure) of the t-3 group, I got the Square as my
"winter car" so I wouldn't have to drive the Bug in the winter - the
Bug's from Santa Cruz and pretty much rust-free, so I bought an
already-somewhat-rusty Square that I'm trying to preserve as best I
can.  It's already considerably 'happier' than the PO left it, I'll have
you guys know :)

I am aware of Tony out there - a good friend (non-VW) lives a few blocks
from the shop and I am known to ogle the cars on his lot for a bit when
I visit my friend :)
